Kernel update 2.6.32-22

Today I've checked the ubuntu updates again and... voila there was a new kernel. So I downloaded the current compat-wireless to prepare for my wireless fix and I updated.

Wireless was still not working , so I compiled compat-wireless bleeding edge: compat-wireless-2010-05-05. Works. Interesting is that two finger scrolling works now on the mousepad. But honestly I fiddled so much around to have this working that I don't know now if it's because of my workarounds or the new kernel.

Hello, Olaf!There was update of a kernel to 2.6.32-23. After updating I install "linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic" and wi-fi module start working. I didn't uninstall the self compiled modules.

Wireless works out of the box with my 1001px. But the Keyring keeps asking me for a password when connecting the wifi. I just cancel the password and everything works ok. Two finger scroll does not work.
